Some injuries have long-term, life-altering consequences that affect not only the victim but their entire family. Catastrophic injuries often result in permanent disabilities, ongoing medical care, and loss of earning capacity, leaving victims facing a lifetime of financial and emotional challenges. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you deserve full and fair compensation to cover your medical needs and secure your future.
At Finlay Law Firm, we represent victims of catastrophic injuries in Miami, Coral Gables, and throughout South Florida. With over 15 years of experience, Attorney Javier Finlay fights aggressively to hold negligent parties, businesses, and insurance companies accountable, ensuring that injury victims get the financial recovery they need to rebuild their lives.
Catastrophic injuries often result from severe accidents, medical negligence, or unsafe conditions. We handle cases involving:
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes frequently result in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and amputations.
Falls from heights, equipment failures, and industrial accidents can leave workers with life-changing disabilities.
Surgical errors, birth injuries, and misdiagnoses can cause severe brain damage, paralysis, or permanent disability.
Falls on unsafe properties can lead to spinal cord injuries, broken hips, and traumatic brain damage, especially in older adults.
A catastrophic injury is one that results in permanent disability, long-term medical needs, or significantly impacts a person’s ability to work or live independently. Examples include paralysis, severe burns, traumatic brain injuries, and amputations.
Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, ongoing rehabilitation, in-home care, disability accommodations, and pain and suffering. The more severe and permanent the injury, the higher the potential compensation.
Florida law generally allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, if the injury was not immediately apparent, you may have additional time under the discovery rule.
Yes. In cases where the victim requires full-time care or is unable to work, family members may be able to recover compensation for lost financial support and emotional distress.
Beyond traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, severe burns, multiple fractures, organ damage, and birth-related injuries may also qualify, depending on their impact on long-term health and daily life.
A consultation costs nothing—but waiting could cost you everything.
